Structural Engineering

Structural design incorporates all elements of the building form. It encourages creativity and requires integration of aesthetic design, functionality, constructability and commerciality. Providing structures that resist imposed loads and perform appropriately for their intended use is fundamental. The challenge of structural engineering is to provide the right solution to projects in an economical way without compromise.

Whether for the private or public sectors, health projects have specific requirements that are unique to this sector. The structures associated with health facilities require careful consideration to ensure the end product is purposeful, durable and has adequate redundancy to allow for future upgrades.

These structures can be highly service focused. Understanding the operational workflow, plant requirements and reticulated services paths can all contribute to a well-coordinated design and documentation process which equates to a cost effective and well-built structure.

Pritchard Francis has a strong background in health facilities within regional and metropolitan locations. We have an in-depth understanding of the "Western Australian Health Facility Guidelines for Engineering Services" ensuring that all stakeholders requirements are integrated into the designs.
